Ron DeSantis on Wednesday said a similar facility probably will be added at North Florida\u2019s Camp Blanding. <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis said state Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie is working on the plan for Camp Blanding, a 73,000-acre site used by the Florida National Guard for training. \u201cWe have some capacity there, so Kevin Guthrie (and the) Division of Emergency Management are working on that,\u201d DeSantis said during an appearance in Tampa. \u201cSo we\u2019ll have a formal announcement on both of those very, very quickly.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also defended the plan to create what has been dubbed \u201cAlligator Alcatraz\u201d at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, an airstrip surrounded by the Everglades.
